(ZeroHedge)—Democrats won’t be happy to learn that Elon Musk still holds the title of the world’s richest man, according to the latest Bloomberg data.
As of Monday, Musk’s net worth stood at $300.6 billion, down $29 billion in the prior session after Tesla tumbled 15%. Year-to-date, his net worth has plunged by $131.8 billion, mainly due to Tesla shares plunging 43% since the start of the year amid slowing sales and mounting boycotts by leftists furious about his DOGE mission to root out fraud and corruption in the federal government.
The Tesla bear market, fueled by slowing sales (Goldman & UBS both cut delivery forecasts for 1Q25), comes as deranged leftist protest Tesla showrooms nationwide. These protests were dismal and pathetic in turnout, as community organizing color revolutionary groups have likely seen their funding sources halted, with USAID neutered by DOGE and the Trump administration—hence the small turnout.
Unhinged leftists have also firebombed Tesla Supercharging stations and burned Tesla vehicles.

Despite all this, Musk still holds a massive lead as the world’s wealthiest man, well ahead of Jeff Bezos, number two, and Mark Zuckerberg, number three.
Bloomberg’s breakdown of Musk’s wealth shows $135.8 billion in SpaceX, $94.9 billion in Tesla shares, $60.4 billion in Tesla options, $22.6 billion in xAI, $8.3 billion in X, $3.3 billion in The Boring Company, and $2.1 billion in Neuralink, bringing his total net worth to $327.4 billion.
Democrats have been furious that billionaire Musk is leading efforts to dismantle and disrupt their command and control structure within complex NGOs that grift taxpayers out of billions to undermine the nation with hopes of socialist reconstruction.
Even CNN’s Van Jones admitted on Monday that the Democratic Party is in complete shambles: “We’re screwed– defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country turns out is not as popular as my party thought it was gonna be.”
Who goes bankrupt first? Democratic Party or Musk?
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
